Athletic Bilbao came within three minutes of a famous win at the Bernabeu on Thursday night only for Cristiano Ronaldo to predictably ruin their party. Even so, a 1-1 draw away to Real Madrid was an excellent result, particularly in the context of what has been a poor season.

They’ll be keen to finish with a bit of a flourish and they may need to if José Ángel Ziganda is to stand any chance of keeping his job. Athletic are down in 13th place currently and are well out of European contention now which means next season will be a rare chance to focus purely on domestic competitions.

As for Levante, they took another giant leap towards safety with a 1-0 win over Malaga in midweek courtesy of a last minute goal which relegated the Andalusian club. It also gave Levante a 7 point cushion on 18th placed Depor heading into match-day 34 and they look good to survive now although they do have a reasonably tricky run in.

Even though Athletic haven’t been great, this is still a tough game for the visitors. The Basque giants have only lost 19% of their home matches this term in La Liga with 2 of their 3 defeats coming against the top two. They’d actually gone 10 unbeaten at San Mames in the league until a surprise loss to Depor last time out. With Levante averaging just 0.81 points per game away, it’s hard to see another upset here.
